How was Warcraft a failure? It dominated overseas.

The time is ripe for a Starcraft movie.

Shes a horrible pick for Lara and that costume looks like trash

but this is just.........

Ubisoft has got to be the dumbest company ever.

Just had one job. Make Assassins Creed 2 into a movie. There is enough there for a full trilogy after the first one.

Instead they mash together some dumb shit that makes no sense.

>>81164633
Nah, the costume is spot on, but the actress isn't attractive at all

>>81164715
I had a feeling the movie was going to be shit when they changed the Animus. Having an original character was fine since the canon has shown theyre have been plenty of subjects and assassins besides Desmond. Plus its an excuse to visit a period that hasnt been seen in games yet

>>81164727
Youre right it is spot on but it's not an appealing design at all. Im not saying she has to go back to that teal top and booty shorts but at least something from the Legend or Underworld games. Those had better looking outfits

I don't mind the animus, it would be boring if the main character was sitting on a chair the whole movie, but once the past sequences start they really shouldn't have to show the dude doing the same things he's doing in the past in the present, it was just distracting and boring.

Movie is utter shit. CGI looks like the one from 2001.

Does this bitch even have any expressions?
She was good as emotionless robot in Ex Machina, but casting her as a human person was a mistake

This is not Lara Croft. They could take this actress and make an original character out of her and make an original movie, but that would be too risky so they'll just call it Tomb Raider and have the security of an established brand. This shit makes me sick. It really does.

>>81164369
They didn't even bother to make a extended cut on bluray. And no words on the sequel so far.

>>81164382
Nobody outside Worst Korea gives a shit about Starcraft

>>81164869
>some random dude on the internet has a better idea then the fucks making millions of dollars

who thought it would be good to keep going back and forth during the past action sequences? It would be like cutting away to Desmond while youre playing as one of his ancestors. Stupid

kill yourself you disgusting piece of shit

>>81164933
Half the time she looked like she was going to start crying. Especially that last scene in the movie.

She is supposed to be a ruthless CIA operations head?

Assassins Creed is getting a trilogy

>In March 2017, Daphne Yang, CEO of the film's Taiwanese co-financier CatchPlay, stated that New Regency was looking to turn the film into a franchise, since it is based on "successful Ubisoft games and would make ideal sequels."[64] Two additional films are planned, with the first sequel entering development during the production of the initial film.[65] Kurzel told Premiere that he would like to explore the Cold War in the sequel.

CG were the best parts desu. It was the live action that sucked.

>>81164229
Bad pick for Lara, she's a dog. Truly, I have fucked far more attractive girls and I am literally autistic. She must be related to a producer or director of the film.

TLoU could be good if they get the casting right. I wonder if it will follow the events of the game 1:1. I'd like to see something different.

>>81164464
This. I believe Uncharted will be the first video game movie to break the curse.

Jake Gyllenhaal's The Division
Tom Hardy's Splinter Cell

>>81164382

Nah, SC2's writing is awful and SC1's plot wouldn't work since no campaign is enough to carry a movie and combining them would make it jump all over the place.

>>81164715
They had so much good material. Pretty
disappointing desu.

Will Metal Gear Solid be good even without Kojima involved? Or will it be good because Kojima won't be involved?

>>81164933
This. She's flavour of the month casting and is wooden as fuck. I was saying it a year ago that the only reason that suited ex machina was because she was supposed to have no understanding of human emotions.

It's like the reverse of the Hitman movie where Instead of casting someone with a stoic charisma they cast someone who looked like they were about to burst out crying.

Camilla Luddington cries all the time and expresses intense emotion in her portrayal of Lara Croft in the new games. Plus she has nice tits so they should've just cast her in the movie too.

Again like the Hitman movie.

>>81166920
nah she doesnt have the right look

>>81167155
It's supposed to be directed by the guy who did Kong Skull Island.

Remember all those parts in that movie which came off as melodramatic to the point of parody?

Or how badly done the opening scene was that it looked like the opening of Tropic Thunder (before it's revealed you're watching a movie being filmed)?

Or the way that the director was so overwhelmed by such a huge cast that he never tried to convince any of them not to just give phoned in performances?

Also remember that Konami didn't want to make a MGS movie 10 years ago because they knew it like all videogame movies would probably damage the brand and so waited until they killed the franchise themselves before green lighting anything?

Yeah it's gonna be BRILLIANT!

>>81164339
watch John Wick

>>81164229
lara croft is the epitome of the hot videogame chick.

why couldn't they cast at least a 6/10?

Borderlands is literally your only hope

Not because vidya stories are intrinsically bad, but because Hollywood is intrinsically bad at stories.

When will "gamers" realize that their precious little toys make for incredibly poor source material? They shriek and shriek about games becoming more "cinematic" at the expense of gameplay, and then they think every fucking laughable piece of trash game "deserves" a "real" adaptation.

It was good and pretty faithful to the source material. It moves a little too fast for people that never played the games. That'd be the only problem I could see with it.

>It dominated overseas.
Let me explain something about distribution.

In Italy we have a syndicate (er... sorry... I meant to say "union") of distributors, most of whom are also the owners of the theatres.

This means they get to decide which movie gets more screenings and for how long.

As a consequence, some foreign masterpieces are sold out because there are simply not enough shows for all of them.
So people end up buying tickets for another film -- just because they want to spend a night at the movies. Thanks to the fact some films get more shows overall, even if every theatre is half-filled, the result is that this micromanagement of screen-time decides what is a box office success and what results in a bomb.

This usually happens with Italian shitty movies, which are not even the best indie productions, but just the usual pre-heated soup by whoever is in charge atm.
Yet, it might happen for foreign movies as well.

Distributors decide it must be screened more than other movies. People end up watching it for want of alternatives (they wanted to go somewhere else, but it was all sold out). By means of this, you end up doctoring the box-office results.

This happend with Warcraft, e.g. there were other excellent and high-quality runner-up movies. But Warcraft got more ads, more screenings, and more theatres overall. This itself determined its success.

If you consider the territory, most of Italy is mid to low-density. This means that you get only a multi-theatre (a theatre with a lot of screens) per province (except for big cities). So people sometimes they have no alternatives. No one wants to drive 40 km or even 50 to get to the next good theatre. So they tend to watch what they are given in their local council or township.

Mortal Kombat reboot is the only correct answer. The original was the first and one of the only vidya kinos ever made, reboot it and make it the last

>>81171412


Another example:
>a movie was shot around the corner
>it got 3 screenings (overall!) in 3 theatres of the nearby towns
>theatres were so sold out people were standing outside. Suppose you have a 1,000 people room with another 3,000 people waiting outside
With such a turnout, you would expect theatre owners to opt for more screening of the same film... but guess what?
>they didn't, because "distributors" did not allow them to do so
>they had binding contract with distributors who decided "this film must be screened at least X times at XX:XX YY:YY and ZZ:ZZ hours over the weekend"

If there was a free market, I would take the "overseas success" at face value, demonstrating the film was good.
But given how box office successes are doctored, I don't think it means shit.

>>81171477
Warcraft grossed $220 million in China, and $430 million in total.

Italy is irrelevant.

Profits = sequels.

>>81171555
>Italy is irrelevant.
As usual, anons here on 4chan don't get the point.
I am showing you how it works in Italy.
I presume most of the countries work like that.
Especially in China where corruption is rampant.

I just gave you a down-to-earth example of how box-office results can be doctored.

China, in my opinion, does even more than that.

If you think my whole point was about Italy, please go back to reading comprehension 101.

I am simply stating this:
>since in most countries the free market of films is a myth
>and since in most countries the box office results are usually doctored in the way I explained
>it doesn't matter how much X or Y grossed, because that's something you can achieve artificially
>So, the whole argument is irrelevant

>>81172182
>China, in my opinion, does even more than that.
you're a fucking Italian, you're baseless conjecture and theories are worthless unless you actually know how it happens in other countries. you do know that your country and Spain are 3rd world countries when you look at certain aspects of your shitholes, right?

>>81172267
>you're a fucking Italian, you're baseless conjecture and theories are worthless unless you actually know how it happens in other countries. you do know that your country and Spain are 3rd world countries when you look at certain aspects of your shitholes, right?
I think the burden of the proof is yours.
Or do you live in a special fantasy world where corruption does not happen and film distributors don't doctor box office results?

As far as I am concerned, EVERYONE does that until proven differently. I don't even have to defend it, because movie distribution industry is so rotten that it happens on a regular basis.
I'm not projecting. Reality is harsh to deal with, I concede it to you.

But we must stop this meme according to which box office success = good movie.

Now, since it was you who started this by claiming something on the lines of:
>it was successful abroad, look at the cash they made

Now, to prove you I am not projecting:
>China has been the subject of a major crackdown on movie industry corruption
